While enjoyable and reflective, the stories pile up in the minds eye of possible adventures. One image haunts me, but the rest draw smiles, laughter and the occasional shared nod of familiarity.

I was delighted with each author's travel experience and perspective. Makes me yearn to go back to Asia. I miss it everyday.

I am a traveler at heart but not in current practice. This book took me away to foreign places and had me yearning to run away.
